Diff possibilities:
Tender is usually a good sign & if you have a few relatively small tender lymph nodes & you struggle with allergies or have a cold, those could cause it. However if you have a very lg or hard, immobile node (s) it's best to get that checked out. You might also want to check for swollen lymph nodes elsewhere in the body & if you find some, that would be another reason to get checked out.

Possibly viral:
Viral illnesses can give you swollen lymph nodes and generalized muscle aches and body aches. I would give it a few days, take antiinflammatory medication and if your still symptomatic in 4 or 5 days let your doctor know.

Nodes are:
Distributed throughout the body. The neck, armpit, and groin are the easiest to see and feel. We all have heard that the sore throat "caused teh glands to swell" and these hurt.

These nodes can grow quite larg.

Painful nodes:
Point toward infectious etiology, and jaw pain may indicate dental cause, particularly closed off abcess. Dentist & x-ray would be my first stop. The list is longer for painless nodes.

Tender nodes could be due to an underlying infection or inflamed area. If there are several on the neck for over a month you should see your physician as soon as possible.
